‘Half of art is accident, but there is no accident without free experiment’ - Ralph Steadman

My work is my work. Sometimes it’s experimental, like this piece. It’s not for everyone. I am ok with that. Are you ok with someone not liking your work? You should be.

True art is about experimentation. The experimentation happens both through your artistic expression and in yourself. For me, art has changed how I view who I am. Following my artistic endeavors has made me a better person, in that I believe in my work, fully. I wouldn’t have reached this understanding without experimentation.

In photography in particular, breaking norms some artistic satisfaction. This image is not necessarily perfectly composed as I normally would, but I liked the lights on this crowd. This was my artistic vision.

To my artist friends reading this, I encourage you to re-examine your relationship with your work. Has the world seen (or heard) your artistic expression? If not, why not? Are you playing it safe, or experimenting?

In editing this piece, I really attempted to push the cropping capability of my 61mp sensor. As a normal starting point, I used my preset , specifically Radio City Music Hall . I use my preset as an initial idea, then I move on from there. As always let me know what you think.
